Jan 10, 2013 F.LUX : the computer display dimmer
Apparently, staying up late staring at a brightly lit computer screen may take you up to an hour longer to fall asleep once you actually get into bed, according to several research studies f.lux references on their site. So THAT explains why I never go to bed until 3am…
How do you solve this? Easy peasy. Download f.lux, the app that auto adjusts your screen brightness according to the time of day to reduce the strain the bright blue light puts on your eyes. I was a bit skeptical at first, but once I downloaded it and adjusted the preferences to my liking, I noticed quite a big difference in comfort. It’s a bit dark (depending on your preferences) at first, but you get used to it quite quickly. There doesn’t seem to be any quality videos on this app, so your best bet would be to just download it yourself and try it out. Trust me, you’ll love it.
Oh, and if you have a jail-broken phone, you can get it on there as well. Enjoy.
